On day two we decided to take a two buses to get from South Beach to Lil Havana. Once there we ate at Exquisito Restaurant

The Steak was just right- I got mine medium-well.

Another recommendation made by a friend was a Cuban Restaurant called Puerto Sagua

I had a chicken Empanada. It was good, but growing up in the Bronx I’ve had better.

My meal though, Ropa Vieja with Rice and Platanos, was amazing!

Our last night is Miami- we decided to do it BIG and spend a little $$$ to get really good seafood. We found Grillfish on the UrbanSpoon app on my phone.

For an Appetizer- Calamari

My main dish was worth every penny. I had the Seafood Fra Diavlo- which included Mussels, Clams, Shrimp, and Calamari in a marinara sauce over Linguine

My travel and eating companion, Diana had: Shrimp Scampi. She enjoyed it, but said she expected more flavor- especially since it smelled really good.

Before going to Miami I’d heard so much about Wet Willie’s… from soooo many people. And everyone raved of there famous drinks like: Call-A-Cab…

The prices were more then what I expected, but still cheap for how much you get!

I got some samples before investing on a whole drinks- tried their Mojito Mojo, Call-A-Cab, something else, and Monster Melon. I thought Call-A-Cab tasted like cough syrup… and went with the Monster Melon instead… It was tangy and just better
